He deals with BIG horsepower on a daily basis,
Everyone else is behind him in technology!
You get your trans back warm off the dyno, no guesswork!
They also BUILD the converter in-house to your combo!!

Jimmy's, FTW. He is the person to see for 200-4r's in the midwest at least and one of the best in the country/world/universe :) .

I'm surprised it lasted that far. Maybe I should put my 2004r in my 64. Mine'll probably only run high 12's at best and probably only 13's, if it ever leaves the garage that is:goof

Sold it to a guy local he sold it to some guy from indiana.The Gn has been the car I wanted for 12 years and was in the right place in my life to by one so the stang went bye bye.I guess it is all done and looks great,haven't seen it.After owning the gn i am done buying selling cars to build.I got the wifes typhoon and my gn and the daughters project coming up...

Both my brother (4L60E) and I (TH350) had trannys built by a fella named Jesse who does it on his own and was a referral from some BCM'ers. He's done work for quite a few mwmbers here and he could probably help.

PM me for his # if you're interested in getting some info from him. He's over by State Fair Park.

I had my 700R4 rebuilt in cedarburg at R&D, but it was kind of expensive.
